Xactware Summer Party

Olympic Park: Park City, UT


We love Xactware parties! This summer we got to go to Olympic Park in Park City, UT.


Activities:
  • Bobsled- David went on the bobsled (on wheels) and said it was way crazier than he even imagined. He said it was so intense that if he had the choice in the middle of the ride to get off, he would have! Overall though, he was glad he did it. It was a 60 second ride going 65 mph with up to 4 G's of force. You wonder why they wouldn't let a pregnant woman on:)

  • Alpine Slide- David, Adam, and I all got to participate on this one. Adam rode with David and absolutely loved it.

  • Zip line- David got to go down the mountain on a zip line which he enjoyed. Adam and I just got to ride the lift up and back down.

  • Long Jump Raft- David opted out of this event, but Mike and Jake got to go down this intense ride. They took a river raft and cruised down the mountain side where the skiers normally do the long jump.

  • Blow Up Toys- Adam and the kids had a blast playing on all of the blow up toys. Adam knew just what to do and had no problem climbing up the obstacles, sliding down, and bouncing on the moonwalk. You could tell he felt like such a big boy staying up with all of his cousins.

  • Museum: We got to tour the Olympic Museum and training facilities for all of the athletes.

  • Delicious Dinner/Aerial Show- We had an awesome BBQ and then got to watch professional aerialists do a show at their practice facility. It was pretty amazing and quite the production. Many of the athletes will be competing in the Olympics or already have and they even had one who was only 13 years old out there doing all the stunts. It was such a fun and entertaining evening!

Aerial Show Finale: Pretty Cool!

They also gave out awards at the event. We had all played in a miniature golf tournament earlier in the week, and somehow, I won the women's adult division! I think I need to play mini golf more often when I am pregnant, because I got 2 under par and had 4 hole in ones!! Pretty crazy. I won a gift certificate to PF Chang's. Not a bad reward, I would say!
